Overhead Crane Directional Sticker | S-E-N-W Decal

Dir-008-5

Provide a clear visual reference for overhead crane travel with this high-visibility S-E-N-W crane directional sticker. This configuration is intended for placement above the operator, where the south, east, north, and west markings can be matched to the crane controls and actual direction of movement.

Before ordering and installation, carefully verify the directional arrangement shown on the decal. The configuration must match the controller markings, crane movement, and viewing position at your facility.

ASME B30.2 Directional Marking

ASME B30.2 Section 2-1.1.6(c) requires directional markings on applicable overhead and gantry crane equipment or facilities. The standard identifies “north, south, east, west” as examples of acceptable markings and specifies that they must be legible to the operator and consistent with the direction-of-movement markings on the crane controllers.

This S-E-N-W overhead crane directional decal is designed to provide visible directional markings for applicable crane equipment or facilities. Before installation, verify that the decal’s directions match the corresponding controller markings and actual crane movement.

The black, white, and yellow color scheme and graphic layout are product-design features. They are not represented as colors or artwork specifically mandated by ASME B30.2 or OSHA.

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.179(b)(2) requires covered overhead and gantry cranes constructed and installed on or after August 31, 1971, to meet the design specifications of ANSI B30.2.0-1967, as incorporated by reference.

Choosing the Correct Size and Configuration

ASME B30.2 does not prescribe a specific size for these directional markings. Choose a decal size appropriate for the equipment, viewing distance, and installation location so the marking remains legible to the operator.

Important: Confirm the south, east, north, and west arrangement before ordering. If you need the opposite viewing configuration, see this overhead crane directional sticker.
